For a moment, when we arrived at Bangkok railway station at Hua Lamphong, I thought we had booked ourselves into the wrong part of sprawling Sukhumvit. But I was wrong. The LINE, located in Sukhumvit 71, was located very close to the Phra Khanong BTS station on the Sukhmvit Line. From there, you can either walk or take the very convenient motorcycle taxi (10 Baht).
Our stay was clean and comfortable, with a good 16th floor view of the sights of Bangkok. A warm bed, two functioning ACs, a functioning fridge and microwave, and excellent wi-fi, made it all the more convenient. Not to forget a super-secure front-door lock (complete with hand imprints and secret codes) which reminded you of James Bond films!
Lots of neighbourhood stores, and a couple of good massage parlours, nearby meant we didn't miss anything. There were hundreds of eating and drinking options, including at the "W Market" next door. We spent no more than 15-20 minutes to whereever we needed to go by BTS, which was a big relief considering Bangkok's traffic reputation.
Above all, our ever-smiling host Malini was kind, courteous and caring. She texted us several times even before we arrived to enquire our well-being. And she was there even at 11 pm in the night to see us off by hailing a taxi.
In more ways than one, modern Thailand has been built on the hard work of its amazing women. Our host showed just how through her lovely little pad.
